Cornerstone Beachside Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Newly built in 2021 in the aftermath of Hurricane Michael, the Cornerstone Beachside Cottage is bursting with character. Located Gulf-side of Hwy. 98, this charmer boasts gorgeous ocean views on three sides and an unbeatable location just a few steps from the beach. Pictures and mementos of the original 1950s cottage that once stood on this spot and other Mexico Beach landmarks are displayed around the home, including the downstairs 1/2-bath vanity, made from a recovered piece of the pier. The blanket bench at the foot of the main suite’s bed was custom-made from a diving platform, pulled from the woods after the hurricane, and the donated headboard is from the original El Governor Motel. Finally, the half-wall at the top of the stairs was custom-made from a WWII Liberty Ship hatch cover, and the three stained-glass windows, imported from England, found new life at Cornerstone via Savannah, GA.

Lucky guests of this kiwi-green cottage will find not only history, but also modernity inside this brand-new space. The well-equipped kitchen features lots of counter space, a coffee bar, eat-in island and stainless steel appliances. The adjacent living room offers a large sectional, perfect for an afternoon snooze. If you’ve brought any remote work, the coffee table pops up to a desk, and the home’s 5G internet makes connecting easy. All TVs are smart TVs, making connection to personal streaming accounts simple and fast. Both bedrooms feature direct access to the bathroom and gorgeous sunrise and sunset views – but also blackout shades for those mornings you want to sleep in.

Outside, you’ll find several spaces for relaxing, including a porch off the living room, a screened porch - ideal for morning coffee and evening cocktails - and a second covered porch, accessible from the top of the stairs and the front bedroom, the perfect place to enjoy the Gulf breeze. Finally, the lower-level entertainment space offers access to the private outdoor shower and dressing room. Ample additional seating and beach chairs are provided and stored under the outdoor staircase for your use. For a taste of history complete with all the modern conveniences, you simply can’t beat a stay at Cornerstone Beachside Cottage!

Beautiful Home But Renter Beware
This rental home was terrific. It has a very nice, cozy interior as well as inviting exterior, great proximity to the beach (less than a half block) and easy access from a major highway. The only two negatives were the new construction activity next to this home and the hidden rental costs. On the 2 week days of our stay, hammers and nail guns disturbed us each morning starting at 6:45 AM. We don't know if Mexico Beach has construction regulations governing construction start times but the noise was unappreciated. The other negative was the advertised price of the rental. By the time all the fees and taxes are added, the final cost is double the advertised rate. Kudos to the homeowners for creating a beautiful beach cottage but shame on the rental agencies for not being up front about the construction noise and cost add ons.

Coming back for sure!!!
Lovely place. Decided to start a family tradition here! I’ll be returning soon. Me, husband, 11 yo, and 10 mo. Wouldn’t recommend as a couples thing given that the room is jack/jill but perfect small family. No tub for baby but kitchen sink was large enough! Love this place. Very clean! Great location! Wish the king was in the room with balcony but I understand the space would have been limited. Thanks for having us and sharing your home with others. =)

Nice and cozy
We really liked the beach house. It is a very short walk to the beach (50 yards?), quiet, convenient, and had everything we needed. Even though I was aware of the stairs, they did become kind of a bother after a while. The living room, kitchen, and half bath were on the 2nd floor and the two bedrooms and full bath were on the third floor. There is a freight elevator that would have been very helpful when unloading/loading the car, but was locked and unavailable. All in all, is recommend this project to anyone thinking of staying in Mexico Beach.

Great Family Getaway
The house had everything we could need for our family of 4. It was really nice having the beach chairs. There was also a few beach toys and umbrella. The walk to the beach was so quick and easy. Location was amazing.

Nice Beach Getaway!
Loved the beach house. It’s a super easy walk to the beach to set up for the day. The area is very nice and safe. They are doing construction on the street but it didn’t bother us at all. It was nice to have the beach with just a few neighbors around!

Perfect home for a family getaway!
We have been traveling to Mexico Beach for the last eight years, and this rental is by far our favorite so far! 500 steps from the beach, but not located centrally to the city proper so the beach doesn’t get too crowded. It was a well appointed home and all the balconies make for great sunset watching. We will definitely be returning!

We loved Mexico Beach. The house and the space were perfect for me and my husband. It was clean, well equipped with everything we needed. We sat on the porches for coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening. We loved being so close to the beach to be able to walk every morning, spend time there every day and walk down to watch the sunset. Thank your for a great stay, we will be back!

Better than winter in Michigan
Nice condo. We’re just happy the other couple that was going to join us had to cancel. The condo has no closets or dressers so we had to use the 2nd bedroom/bed as a place to store our clothes. We were living out of suit cases stacked on the bed for 2 weeks. Renters should be advised of this. Other than that we had a great time but will not rent again due to the lack of closets and/or dressers or a place to keep clothes.

What a gem!
We are a small family of three. This was our first stay at Mexico Beach. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. The owners of this property put a lot of love into the complete rebuild of this property after Hurricane Michael. We loved all the craftmanship and artwork that was selected for this property. Everything was so high end from floors to the ceilings. We moved right in and did not want to leave. The beach gear was well equipped with plenty of chairs, types of tents/umbrellas and some beach toys. The outdoor shower was adequate and even had hot water! The kitchen was extremely well equipped as I cooked every single day while we were there. The refrigerator has an ice maker and a filtered water dispenser. The sectional couch fit all three of us with plenty of space for stretching out and relaxing. There are two outdoor spaces that were perfect for sitting a relaxing outside. Upstairs the bedrooms were nicely decorated and big with ceiling fans that actually pushed air. The king sized bedroom contained the stacked Washer and Dryer and each bedroom had a tv that we didn't use but it was nice to have just in case. The block out the sun curtains I learned were important unless you wanted to be up by 5 am every day as the sun rose. The Jack & Jill bathroom was beautifully designed. The only thing the house was missing was a closet or something to put your clothes in for the week. The beach was a very short walk down the road and was never crowded. Their is a small store on the next block over that has a decent amount of grocery supplies should you need them and you can purchase fresh seafood next door to that at the Shell Shack. I highly recommend staying here and I hope to come back again. It was a beautiful home and the couple who owns it should be proud of their accomplishment. Bravo!
